Some of you may have noticed Caeden wink-king and blink-king lately, continuously. We decided to take him in to have it checked out; it has been happening for 3-4 weeks. We have had to reschedule his appointment 2 times already for various reasons and almost didn't make it today. Caeden's appointment was for 3:30 today but Alison's mom called at 3:15, at which time we are usually checking in or at least in the parking lot. "I'm sorry I am just leaving work." *Still fuming* Picture me with smoking rolling out my ears.
Anyway, this is about Caeden. His vision is excellent for his age, no problems there. Turns out he has a tic. The experts do not know why some people are more prone to them but it is kind of an emotional, stress related thing. They are 3 times more common in boys than girls. It should go away on its own and he does not need to be seen for it again unless he develops more, like shoulders or eyebrows raising.
Now that I think about it he has done something like this before, although we just thought he was emulating someone. Before he was clearing his throat. At least winking is quiet. Since we are to ingore it and not draw attention to it, this makes it quite a bit easier.

Jessica - I know that Kaden Clark (DesMoines) had the same problem - and they found out the same thing - he even asked his Mom why he did it so it must have been bothering him as well! Anyway - easy to ignore -- and hope it doesn't last long! ; ) Aunt Linda
I noticed it the other night, but didn't think anything about it, other than sometimes kids just start doing things and after awhile it goes away. You're a good mommy to get it checked out.
